(John Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan are on p. 426 in the textbook)

8. You will write an obituary for one of the industrialists we studied that begin with the label of either “robber baron” or “captains of industry.” These obituaries must include
a description of their life and accomplishments
at least 4 sentences explaining why this person should be labeled either a robber baron or a captain of industry.
Your notes from last night will help with this, too.
